Try without Server.MapPath if you know the exact location.

Hi Reshma, try with Directory.GetFiles.This will help you in finding your solution..see the example: public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { const string IMAGE_DIRECTORY = "/images/"; ArrayList pics = new ArrayList(); string s = null; string html = null; foreach (string s_loopVariable in Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath(IMAGE_DIRECTORY), "*.gif")) { s = s_loopVariable; html = " " + " " + " "; pics.Add(html); } dlPictures.DataSource = pics; dlPictures.DataBind(); } where your aspx page is like below: RepeatColumns="3" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"> Hope this will help you. :)
